The SmartLipo Procedure: What to Expect from Smartlipo

Although Smartlipo Triplex is extremely popular, the Smartlipo procedure itself is little understood. We’ve been getting a whole lot of inquiries into Smartlipo, especially Smartlipo Triplex (laser lipolysis) so I decided to write this article to shed light upon the different steps contained in the Smartlipo Triplex procedure.

Keep in mind that no matter what’s written in any article on Smartlipo, that you must receive a doctor’s consultation in order to get the most accurate information for your situation and according to your own unique bio-makeup. If you’re in the Detroit Metro area, we’re currently offering limited-time free consultations.

Smartlipo Overview

Smartlipo Triplex is a laser-assisted smartlipo procedure that removes fat from certain parts of your body using suction. Areas that can be treated include the stomach, back, thighs, underarms, and more.

During the liposuction procedure, small tubes called cannula are inserted through tiny incisions made into your skin. The laser-assisted Smartlipo procedure then uses low-energy waves to actually liquify the fat, which is then suctioned from your body through these tubes as your doctor moves them under your skin.

Smartlipo Procedure Planning: Consultation

The first and most important step is to see a doctor for a comprehensive consultation. In this consultation, the doctor will determine your particular goals and whether you’re a good candidate for liposuction. The doctor will also make a thorough examination of your medical history which includes identifying all health ailments you’ve ever suffered from. Next, your doctor will record all current and past medications you’ve been taking.

If your doctor sees that you’re fit for undergoing a Smartlipo procedure, a plan will then be determined on which areas of your body will be targeted and how. As a final step of your consultation, your doctor will set an appointment for the actual liposuction procedure.

The Smartlipo procedure will likely be done in the comfort of a doctor’s health or cosmetic clinic. Unless your doctor recommends, it’s rare that you’ll undergo a Smartlipo procedure in a hospital.

Smartlipo Procedure Step 1: Anesthesia

Once you come in during procedure day, your doctor will administer medications for your comfort before undergoing the liposuction procedure. You’ll receive one or more types of anesthesia including either local anesthesia (to numb only the parts of your body treated with Smartlipo), IV sedation, or general anesthesia (for general sedation). During the initial consultation, your own particular doctor will recommend to you the optimal choice(s) for sedation.

Smartlipo Procedure Step 2: Incisions

The next step of the Smartlipo procedure consists of your doctor performing small incision(s) into the targeted areas of your body to attempt removal of fatty deposits. You will not feel any of these incisions since you will be sedated with local anesthesia (and perhaps even general anesthesia).

Smartlipo Procedure Step 3: Melting Fat Through Laser

Once these small incisions are made, the doctor will then insert small tubes that emit energy waves in order to liquefy the fatty deposits in the targeted area of your body. This part of the procedure is unique only to laser-assisted liposuction procedures like the advanced Smartlipo Triplex system, the standard of liposuction on the market today.

Smartlipo Procedure Step 4: Removal of Fat

At this point in the Smartlipo procedure, thin hollow tubes, called cannula, are inserted by your doctor into the incisions made and the melted fat is suctioned out of your body using a surgical vacuum or a syringe attached to the end of the cannula.

Smartlipo Procedure Step 5: Coagulation

After the liquefied fat is removed by the cannula suction tubes, the doctor will then remove these tubes and replace them with a combination of two additional lasers into the incisions. These laser combinations function to coagulate the small blood vessels which help in decreasing skin bruising, melting any leftover fat, and (the most important function of all) tightening skin. All this helps to give much better and smoother results for the patient.

Smartlipo Procedure: Recovery

Especially when the liposuction procedure is done in an outpatient facility, recovery would usally be quick. You’ll be able to return to work within a couple days and to your normal activities within a week or two. After the procedure, you may experience the following symptoms anywhere from a few days to a few weeks:

Light bruising

Light swelling

Some soreness

Recovery will vary from person to person based on such factors as your unique bio-makeup, the amount of fat cells removed, and the area(s) treated. After the doctor completes your procedure, he or she will talk to you about the results you can expect and how best to maintain these results.

Smartlipo: Are Results Permanent?

The fat cells liquefied and removed from your body are permanent. So if you gain any weight after your procedure, it won’t usually concentrate in the particular area treated. Regardless, it’s extremely important to note that liposuction will not prevent you from gaining weight again. To keep your results and retain your new body shape, it is absolutely vital you follow a strict diet plan and exercise regimen. Smartlipo isn’t just about removing fat, it’s about helping transform your life to consist of healthy diet & exercise.
